Matt Moore sucks

Colby Rasmus OTB for a SP.

Career-ending blister?

So if JG34 wants to kick the draft, there's no harm in starting early. It's just that windows won't start until 8AM tomorrow, and picks won't evaporate until then either.

Correct. MLB player signed and expected to join the majors immediately makes him waiver eligible.

I just found out when I was doing the draft list that jays_fever was in the league

Meh, Hanigan has been disastrous catching Wright this year.

Yup.

Last year the Jays lost just 41 games by more than 1-run. I believe the second-fewest in the league. They were really hard to blow out! Would everyone really be happier if some of those 1-run losses were 5-run losses? Better record in 1-run games!

That's my point. Would it make you happier if they weren't good enough to pile on and turn 1-run wins into blowout wins? Maybe they could add more blowout losses too, to cut down on 1-run losses.

Frequently scoring 5 runs in the top of the 9th to turn a 1-run game into a 6 run game might have something to do with it.

Maybe you're looking at it wrong. The Blue Jays have been very good the last two years. Beating them has been hard. Blowing them out has been very hard. Therefore, most of their losses are close games, because it's hard to blow them out. Most of their wins have been by multiple runs, because they've been really good.

Great signing

That thing on Gray's neck isn't growing in. He should try again in 10 years.

Sonny Gray's facial hair is terrible. He looks f***ing ridiculous. Must be low test.

And my post was to point out that that's f***ing stupid.

Watching Dickey pitch is not fun.

We should credit AA with the Grilli trade too. He mentioned a few times that he recognized he was a good reliever. I'm sure the Biagini pick was him too. Great offseason for AA!

This might come as a surprise, but there would have been internal discussions about every major free agent on the market. Everyone knew in November what Happ was, it's not like AA unearthed some secret gem before departing. 100% credit to the guys who made the contract happen.

lol, so this regime gets no credit for actually signing someone like JA Happ to a very good contract because there may have been internal discussions about doing it before they arrived here?

Current draft order. Picks marked 'expires' evaporate at 8AM ET Monday if room has not been cleared on the farm. 1 JG34 2 TRM 3 Greenwood 4 Dinger 5 L54 6 Frenchsoup 7 Havok 8 GD 9 Boxy 10 Spittin 11 TCA 12 Jays_Fever 13 BurlingtonBandit 14 Abom 15 J4L19 16 ConnorP 17 King 18 Cyborg 19 Chappy 20 BTS 21 BTS 22 Chappy 23 Cyborg 24 King 25 ConnorP 26 J4L19 27 Abom 28 BurlingtonBandit 29 Jays_Fever 30 Abom 31 Spittin 32 Boxy 33 GD 34 Havok 35 Frenchsoup 36 L54 37 Frenchsoup 38 Greenwood 39 TRM 40 JG34 41 JG34 42 TRM 43 BTS 44 Frenchsoup 45 L54 46 Spittin 47 Havok 48 GD 49 Boxy 50 Spittin 51 TCA 52 Jays_Fever 53 BurlingtonBandit 54 TCA 55 J4L19 56 ConnorP 57 King 58 BTS 59 Chappy 60 BTS 61 BTS 62 Chappy 63 Cyborg 64 King 65 ConnorP 66 J4L19 67 Abom 68 BurlingtonBandit 69 Jays_Fever 70 TCA 71 Spittin 72 Boxy 73 GD 74 Havok 75 Dinger 76 L54 77 Frenchsoup 78 Greenwood - expires 79 TRM 80 JG34 81 JG34 82 TRM 83 Greenwood - expires 84 Frenchsoup - expires 85 L54 86 Dinger 87 Havok 88 GD - expires 89 Boxy 90 Spittin 91 TCA 92 Jays_Fever 93 BurlingtonBandit 94 Abom 95 J4L19 96 ConnorP 97 King 98 Cyborg 99 Chappy 100 Greenwood - expires 101 Cyborg 102 Chappy 103 Cyborg 104 King 105 ConnorP 106 J4L19 107 Abom 108 BurlingtonBandit 109 Jays_Fever 110 TCA - expires 111 Spittin 112 Boxy 113 GD - expires 114 Havok 115 Dinger 116 L54 117 Dinger 118 Greenwood - expires 119 TRM 120 JG34

Funny enough, that's music to my ears. I hate the idea of loading up on pending free agents at the trade deadline.

I don't think you can really criticize them for deals that never happened with details that are unconfirmed.
